Almost 50 percent of NYC subway cameras don't work

Almost 50 percent of NYC subway cameras don't work



This is New York and not some small random city in the world !
Lack of Video Slows Hunt for a Killer in the Subway

While there were some conflicting witness accounts, the police believe the man who fatally stabbed two others with a knife during a subway brawl early Sunday morning fled the train at the Christopher Street station.

There are no cameras in the Christopher Street station, where the police believe a killer fled.

In an era of heightened security, when it seems as if virtually every step one takes in Lower Manhattan is captured on hidden camera
somewhere, subway surveillance cameras might well have recorded the man
leaving the station.

Except for one problem: the Christopher Street station has no cameras.

Moreover, nearly half of the subway system’s 4,313 security cameras that have been installed — in stations and tunnels throughout the
system — do not work, because of either shoddy software or construction
problems, say officials with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the city’s bus, subway and train system.

Can you talk about how one can fix this problem?

Does it need a fix? How can one use exiting cameras and infrastructure and upgrade with less money?
